Weeell what can I say? Glow worms was something I was pretty keen to see but was slightly unimpressed. The tour cost $83 pp through Real journeys, and we opted to do the 9am tour. It seems RealJourneys is the only company that run the Glow Worm tours here but if I had to think … Read More

One of the obvious must-do’s while you’re in the South Island is seeing the Milford Sound. Almost all traveler’s you meet will have this somewhere on their itinerary and I’d say its one of the more affordable/worthwhile things to do as well. I was excited for the cruise, but more so looking forward to the … Read More

Ok so I only stayed one night. But it was enough to tell what kind of hostel environment to expect for a longer stay (and trust me, it’s not a place you’d want to stay long). I don’t know how they found workers to be honest, they’re looking to hire actually – no surprise. I … Read More

I began my solo backpacking trip in the UK and while I was close by I thought why not see Ireland too? I pictured rolling green hills, luscious grass (think that Windows desktop display), big stone hedge things, and well, I hear the Irish are amongst the friendliest and welcoming folk in the world.

When it comes to packing for a trip, long or short, I think everyone struggles choosing what to take and what to leave behind. I personally end up not even wearing half the clothes I pack! But when it comes to backpacking you really are limited and this forces you to really think economically and … Read More

Let’s face it. Japan isn’t cheap. Prices are on par with Sydney when it comes to food, accommodation and shopping. And transport? Well if you’re scraping by on Sydney transport, you got no hope in Japan ha-ha. But fear not!! All hope is not lost. If you do your research, plan your days, and travel smart, Japan … Read More

It’s been a week and two days since coming back from Bali and again I’m in that ‘floating’ stage where I want to still chill and travel, but at the same time I’ve got aspirations in ten different directions. I can’t seem to find the ability to focus on a single endeavour. I just want to … Read More

WOOH, I’M DONE!!! Exam day turned out to be less stressful than I expected and it went mostly smoothly. I was just expected to have a little discussion with the examiner afterward but she left as quickly as she arrived. Ros and Ketut said I did well though and they’re confident I passed. Just gotta wait … Read More

Why is it that when it’s almost time to leave, things start to feel positive and you want to stay or keep doing what you’re doing for longer? 2 weeks ago I was feeling like I was overstaying in Bali. I wasn’t having much of a connection with other students in school and things just … Read More

Gah week 7!!!! That means only one week left of my course and I can’t wait to finish. I’m so done with studying and attending morning teas and graduations and meeting new students. 2 months isn’t even that long but I’m over Bali. My final two weeks is dedicated solely to massage practice for my … Read More
